Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of cooling towers, and in particular relates to a dry-wet separation cooling tower. Background Art
[0002] A cooling tower is a device that uses water as a circulating coolant to absorb heat from a system and discharge it into the atmosphere to lower the water temperature. It uses water and air flow to exchange heat to produce steam, and the steam evaporates and takes away the heat to achieve evaporative heat dissipation, convection heat transfer, and radiation heat transfer. It is an evaporative heat dissipation device that dissipates waste heat generated in industry or refrigeration and air conditioning to lower the water temperature to ensure the normal operation of the system. The device is generally barrel-shaped, hence the name cooling tower. In order to achieve further energy and water conservation, there are also cooling towers that use dry and wet separation, and use variable frequency dual fans and water pumps. According to the specific changes in the outdoor environment, the number of fans can be turned on and the speed of the fans and water pumps can be adjusted, thereby changing the air volume and spray water volume in real time to achieve maximum energy and water conservation.
[0003] The existing dry-wet separation cooling tower heat exchange coils are all designed with a bare tube structure parallel to the horizontal plane, which has a poor heat dissipation effect. In addition, when the cooling tower is shut down, in the northern winter, the outdoor temperature is extremely low. When the temperature is below 0°C, the internal liquid needs to be drained to achieve an anti-freeze effect. Since the flat tube cannot drain the internal liquid, as long as there is a section of the single tube of the heat exchange coil filled with liquid, it will freeze, causing the coil to rupture, and later repairs are very troublesome. Summary of the invention

[0014] Beneficial Effects
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Heat exchangers 5 are installed inside the left chamber 3 and the right chamber 4. The heat exchanger 5 includes an outer frame 6 and a heat exchange tube group 7 installed on the inner side of the outer frame 6. The heat exchange tube group 7 is formed by stacking a plurality of bent corrugated tubes 8 that are integrally formed. Fins with higher density can also be arranged on the outer side of the corrugated tubes 8, or high-efficiency fins such as corrugated and trapezoidal fins can be used. An inlet manifold 9 and an outlet manifold 10 are installed on the left side of the outer frame 6. The inlet manifold 9 is connected to the water inlet ends of the plurality of corrugated tubes 8, and the outlet manifold 10 is connected to the water outlet ends of the plurality of corrugated tubes 8.
[0023] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown: In this embodiment, the outer frame 6 includes a first support plate 601 and a second support plate 602, and the four corners of the first support plate 601 and the second support plate 602 are fixedly connected with a connecting frame 603, and the first support plate 601 and the second support plate 602 are provided with mounting holes 604 corresponding to the corrugated pipe 8.
[0024] The plurality of corrugated tubes 8 are fixed by the first supporting plate 601 and the second supporting plate 602 , and cooperate with the connecting frame 603 to form a whole.
[0025] like Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown: In this embodiment, a third support plate 605 is arranged between the first support plate 601 and the second support plate 602, and the four corners of the third support plate 605 are fixedly connected to the connecting frame 603. The third support plate 605 includes a plurality of clamping plates 6051 connected in sequence, and a clamping groove 6052 corresponding to the corrugated pipe 8 is opened on the front side of the clamping plate 6051, and the plurality of clamping plates 6051 are fixedly connected by bolts 6053.
[0026] A soft pad can be provided in the slot 6052, and the bellows 8 can be better fixed by a plurality of clamping plates 6051, the slot 6052 and the bolts 6053 to prevent loosening.
[0027] In this embodiment, the bellows 8 is made of a corrosion-resistant stainless steel tube, which can increase the corrosion resistance of the bellows 8 and improve its service life.
[0028] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown: In this embodiment, the upper and lower ends of the left side of the first support plate 601 are respectively fixedly connected to two first fixed seats 606 and two second fixed seats 607, the inlet diverter pipe 9 is fixedly connected to the two first fixed seats 606, and the outlet manifold 10 is fixedly connected to the two second fixed seats 607.
[0029] like Figure 3 As shown: In this embodiment, the bellows 8 includes a plurality of straight tubes 801 and a plurality of connecting portions 802. Two adjacent straight tubes 801 are arranged obliquely to form a trapezoidal structure. The two ends of the bellows 8 are fixedly connected with an inlet bend portion 803 and an outlet bend portion 804.
[0030] In this way, there is a height difference between the water inlet bend 803 at the upper end and the water outlet bend 804 at the lower end in the entire cooling bellows 8, thereby ensuring that the liquid in the bellows 8 can flow out naturally under the action of gravity, avoiding the adverse effects caused by the inability to drain all the water.

[0033] Working principle: By optimizing the design of the heat dissipation fin structure of the heat exchanger 5, since the heat exchange tube group 7 in the heat exchanger 5 is composed of a plurality of integrally formed bent corrugated tubes 8 stacked together, the heat exchange area can be increased through the corrugated structure, and the heat exchange efficiency can be improved. At the same time, the distribution state of the corrugated tubes 8 in the upper and lower parts of the heat exchanger 5 is changed, so that the straight tubes 801 of the two adjacent corrugated tubes 8 are inclined and form a trapezoidal structure, so that there is a height difference between the water inlet bend 803 at the upper end and the water outlet bend 804 at the lower end in the entire cooling bellows 8, thereby ensuring that the liquid in the bellows 8 can flow out naturally under the action of gravity, and preventing the residual liquid in the bellows 8 from freezing and causing rupture.
